Hi All,

Thanks very much for your replies. Some responses to your questions...

Wago connectors look perfect. I have never used them before but they look brilliant thanks.

Double checked the outer diameter of the cable and it is definitely 20mmish (probably 21/22). The feed was always planned to go out to an outside kitchen area so I recall it being over spec'd just in case. If the core is so big I may end up having trouble getting the 2.5mm in the fitting too!!!!

It looks like the original plan was ok except for the current debate about whether the lighting circuit requires a separate fuse or not. If it ends up that it does require a fused is it possible to buy an outdoor fuse?

thanks again

Lee.


Sorry hit "post" too quickly. Thinking further about the over spec'd cable issue. If it does prove difficult to fit the 2.5mm into the same hole on the socket I would need to replace the switch with a junction box. To save the hassle of redoing the SWA, does anyone know of a blanking plate which would convert the current socket back box into a junction box (if you see what I mean)? The current socket is one of these...
